Moore is practice squad eligible. He hits the street IMO and they bring him back. Rico to IR. The issue isn't now. Its what happens when the suspended players come back. FWIW, I can see at least two of our rookie wide receivers coming back to the practice squad. .

Noah Brown has a bit of Hines Ward to him. Nasty blocker downfield. Good hands and tough as nails. He can be a really solid pro for us.

What do you think GMs in other clubs do?

For example when Coughlin signed his last extension with Giants he negotiated more control over the roster. Previously he gave input to Reese and Reese put together the roster. After the agreement it was a big to do about him how having control over what was at that time the gameday 45 while Reese could churn the remaining 8.

Another example would be the Charger's GM who has complete roster control.

Mike Brown, John Mara, Jerry Richardson and many other owners use their GMs like chamberlains. I understand that as it allows them to control the situation while shielding them from criticism like what we see from you. I actually like how Jerry is upfront and out in the open about it.

Unlike a lot of those arrangements, Jerry runs things more like a council where the HC, Stephen, McClay, and others contribute to the decision. I don't know the exact mechanics but it is not the autocratic method we see from many other clubs.

The team has gotten better under this system since it came to the fore around 2012.
Fuzzy what do you think triggered the change to the current system which seems to be paying big dividends with the upgrade in talent. I also like the way we are getting younger each year. Go Cowboys

I can see the following being borderline cuts:

K Moore
Tapper
Thorton
Neochka
White
Frazier
So far he is about as sturdy as Chaz Green but they will keep anybody with a prayer of rushing the QB around.

Why do you an other agenda driven fans continue this nonsense. JERRY JONES IS THE GENERAL MANAGER. IT IS HIS CALL WHO MAKES THE 53. There have been many articles published that detail how Jerry makes his decision with information from different departments, but it is his final decision. Get over it already.

Oh relax....was a joke to maybe get a chuckle out of you.

I don't get the K Smith thing. The other Smith can play FB.
because he's good at what he does. But on regular offense that is limited I suppose by the number of downs he plays

I'm glad Noah Brown made the team. But if he didn't, at least he's got a fallback in being on Alaskan Bush People.

You aren't carrying 5 RBs. So if K Smith stays, then the other Smith is likely gone. Carrying 5 RBs and 6 WRs seems excessive.

Plus how often do we even run out of a two back set? Is it enough to justify carrying a 5th RB to make room for K Smith? I ask because I don't know.

I think Morris gets cut or traded. With Zeke's suspension very likely at least delayed beyond the 2017 season, no need to keep both DMC and Morris.

His trust in Stephen, Garrett, and McClay.

If I had to guess the catalytic event, I would guess it was the draft where the scouting department and coaches were not on the same page wit Floyd and they picked Frederick. McClay was elevated at that point.

Way doubtful on Thornton as he is the only vet interior depth. And Tapper simply has too much invested in him for them to give up on him.
We invested a 4th in Ryan Russell and cut him after his first year(he actually showed more than tapper). I haven't seen tapper do anything warranting a roster spot. If it is indeed 8:

Lawrence
Crawford
Charlton
Mayowa
Paea
Collins
Thornton
Neal

That would be my guess

Tapper has reportedly had a great camp. They usually don't cut draft picks that have great camps.
